In your article about the Maxim Diner (The Argus, June 4), your reporter classed Uckfield as a "sleepy Sussex town".

I should like to point out that that the town has facilities such as Luxford Field and the civic centre that host numerous activities and fetes, especially during the summer months.

A farmers' market is held every month. The bonfire society carnival procession is one of the most spectacular and largest in the county.

The Uckfield Festival starts on July 9, attracts people from across the area and is supported by Uckfield FM that starts to broadcast on 87.9FM from June 28 for 28 days.

What other town in the area can offer that?

Sleepy town it may have been but vibrant it is now becoming.
